Its more than likely linked to the acceleration options for trident cards
under Xfree86. Try adding/removing the following lines to
/etc/X11/XF86Config under the 'Section "device"' part:
----
Option "accel" # X Won't Suspend With This ON
Option "tgui_pci_read_on"
Option "tgui_pci_write_on"
Option "pci_burst_on"
Option "tgui" # X Won't Run With This ON
Option "cyber_shadow" # X Won't Run With This ON
Option "tgui_mclk_66"
----
Of course the comments are unique to my laptop however you may find
similar problems on your machine.
I'm afraid its a trial-and-error approach however after half and hour of
loading, changing, killing Xfree86 you should find the most stable/fastest
combination
Good luck
Alex
